Previous reviews (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/30/nikon-coolpix-s70-review-excellent-spec-but-mediocre-image-qua/) haven't been all smiles, but we're finally able to pick up Nikon's Coolpix S70 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/CoolpixS70/) and see for ourselves. On form factor alone, it's a pretty alluring build -- even the faux leather front is tastefully done. While the tap-to-focus feature is a nice addition, we're less enthused about the OLED screen's viewing angles when outside -- and seeing as we've go no other way to see the memories we're framing, that's pretty disappointing. We're still putting it through its paces before we dole out full impressions, but in the meantime, enjoy our unboxing and hands-on photos.
